NEW YORK — A man has sued the maker of the health drink Boost Plus, claiming the vitamin-enriched beverage gave him an erection that would not subside and caused him to be hospitalized.
The lawsuit filed by Christopher Woods of New York said he bought the nutrition beverage made by the pharmaceutical company Novartis AG at a drugstore on June 5, 2004, and drank it.
Woods' court papers say he woke up the next morning "with an erection that would not subside" and sought treatment that day for the condition, called severe priapism.
They say Woods, 29, underwent surgery for implantation of a Winter shunt, which moves blood from one area to another.
The lawsuit, filed late Monday, says Woods later had problems that required a hospital visit and penile artery embolization, a way of closing blood vessels. Closing off some blood flow prevents engorgement and lessens the likelihood of an erection.

but priapism, despite the obvious opportunities, is not a joking matter.We all agree. Anybody found to be guilty about making jokes about it should be given a stiff sentence.

Priapus can be embarrassing. Not only embarassing, but dangerous.

Problem is, they market it as
therapeutic, so I bet they opened themselves up a bit more to litigation by doing so... but IANAL.
